At meeting Of the Board OF Police and
Fire Commissioners today some action will
undoubtedly be taken on the request Of
the members of the police department for
an increase in wages. Tie TKLEeRks-
HEKALD has previously called attention to
the fact that the police are the most poorly
paid Of any class OF city employees, while
their duties require them 20 dress just so
and TO face all sorts of dangers. The city
il growing in size rapidly and the duties
of the guardians Of the peace are thereby
multiplied, a fact which should be
taken into consideration by the Board
and the very reasonable request complied
with. The public owes a great deal both
to the firemen and policemen SIS guardians
and protectors of life and property, and the
increase which the advance would necessi-
tate in the budget would be resdily met by
the taxpayers without word of complaint
An increase in the wsges paid 70 patrolmen
would be the means Of improving the pres
eut force and good men would seek for en-
ployment in that branch of the citys ser

its music catchy, and interpreted by a

thing which will cause laughter and make
them forget for time the cares OF every
